“Guten Morgen. Ich hätte gerne 120 Gramm von der italienischen Leichtigkeit. Ist das die luftgetrocknete? Und dann noch 80 Gramm von dem Exzessaufschnitt, aber die ohne Petersilie. Und noch mal 80 Gramm von der feinen Zu-Spät-Romantik.”...

This is Dolores Jeanette Harrison, who was the smartest girl at Cleveland High School in Cleveland, Alabama. She probably would have been the smartest girl at your high school also, but being the daughter of a failing farmer in Blount...
I've recently switched to Gnome's default apps for email etc. So instead of #Thunderbird doing all the things, I have Geary, Calendar, and Contacts. Most of the time I only need email, so it's nice having a much simplified UX. I also...
My review of “The Dark Knight”.
I have talked to multiple people using Ring cameras and similar surveillance tech at or around their home over the last few years, usually from the US. The reasons are mostly the same: We live in an area with a high crime rate. We had a...
I've just released the first version of another library in the collection of libraries that support the development of Rogallo: specifically, another one that helps convert text in other formats into Gemtext so Rogallo's display can be a...
Think back to your childhood: What is your earliest music memory? Share that song and your story! Atarah’s Band is my earliest wholly music focussed memory. A flautist who took an orchestra on tour with a show aimed at kids. I can’t...

Pela n vez eu estou tentando ter um bullet journal. Durante a pandemia foi a primeira vez que tentei a sério. Antes disso em 2018 quando eu descobri a existência desse método eu tentei por uma semana antes de desistir, então não...
I really thought I was going to have a load of time through August as the month started. Instead it turned out to be absolutely rammed at work, including a conference attendance and giving a guest lecture for a course run by the local...
Normalized Fascism in Open Source: $12 Million Given to DHH Brennan Kenneth "You can't separate the art from the artist" can be an interesting discussion to have in the abstract. And then your favourite artist is a paedophile, and...
“Whatever inspiration is, it’s born from a continuous ‘I don’t know.’” “Attempt what is not certain. Certainty may or may not come later. It may then be a valuable delusion,” the great painter Richard Diebenkorn counseled in his ten...
Throwback note. I am fully blind now, so I listen to a lot of audio described Let's Plays so I can still enjoy the stories Begin old piece. One of the first things that people notice when they flip on their consoles are the catchy intro...
Fuck self-redemption. I can't do this shit alone. I hate this world, but I love the people in it enough to stick around. I guess that's why God lets us be so stupid—excuse me, lets me be so stupid—all the damn time. Out and about...
September 2, 2026 I'm religious about keeping my OSs updated. But yesterday I got a System Settings notification that iOS 26.6.1 was available. I was confused because I was pretty sure I'd already installed it. Curious, I went back to my...

I just wrote a draft post that was filled with doom and gloom and so much negativity. I wrote all that out of my system, then hit the back button on the top left of my screen, and hit “discard changes”. Poof. All that doom thinking gone...
